Subject: Garmin Forerunner 935 or 735XT – Pool Triathlon? Creating a Multisport Activity
My husband has a Garmin Fenix 2, and there is no option to create a custom activity profile for a Pool Triathlon on the Fenix 2 (there is only the GPS Openwater Swim option). There was a forum post on BT called “Garmin 920xt for Triathlon with Pool Swim” that gave directions to do this on a Garmin 920XT. Can someone confirm if this is still an option on the Garmin 935 and Garmin 735XT watches? My husband wants to be able to set up a custom activity profile with an Indoor Pool Swim (I’m assuming it uses the internal accelerometer), Bike outside with GPS, and Run outside with GPS. He is planning to upgrade from his Fenix 2 and wants to decide between the 935 and 735XT. He just wants to know if the custom activity profile allows use of internal accelerometer for the pool and then switches to GPS for the bike and run. Thank you! Becky G

He certainly can do that on the 735xt. I've done it before without problem. Can't speak to the 935.
